To all whom t may/concern Y vBe it known that I, Tomr Minoznmski, a citizenof Poland, residing at` Rosemont, in the countyof Taylor and State of Vest Vlrginia, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements'in Milk-Boilers, ofwhich the followingis a'wspecificatron.

The;primary1object of the present invention resides in the'provision ofa milk boiler embodying, an improved cover vprovided with agplurality ofheat radiating ribs that are adapted to contact theboiling vmilk for purposesof condensing the samer for returning to the -body of milk intheboiler.

A further object ofthe invention consists of a milk boiler having a compartment cover adapted to return condensation to the boiler and cooperating with the boiler to be automatically locked thereon when placed in position.

With the above general objects in view and others that will become apparent as the nature of the invention is better-understood, the same consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter 'more fully described and then claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings by like characters indicating corresponding parts throughout. the several views, and in which, Y

Figure 1 is a vertical vlongitudinal sectional view of a milk boiler constructed in accordance with the present invention,

Y Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof showing the perforations in the cover to permit the escape of vapor,

Fig. 3 is an end elevational view thereof showing the latch connection between one end of the cover and the boiler, n Y

Fig. 4 is a vertical cross sectlonal view taken on line IV-IV of Fig. 1 showing the V-shaped condensing surfaces of the cover, and

Fig. 5 isa detail fragmentary end elevational view of the opposite end of the boiler shown in Fig. 3.

Briefly described, the present invention aims to provide Va boiler especially designed for the boiling of milk wherein there is provided a body portion and a cover, the cover being of saced double wall vconstruction both of which are perforated to permit the escape ofsteam from within the boiler while depending ribs carried by the upper wall of the cover constitute condensing surfaces for boiling iiuid which will drip upon the rbottom wall gofthe cover and percolate therethrough to the" boiler. f Y

Referring more in ydetail to the accompanying drawings, the reference numeral 6 designates a boilerfof 'any preferred-.design having lifting handles 7 with an open upper end closed-by a compartment cover'as illus tratedin Figs. land 1.

The cover comprises fan upper `arched wall 8l connected to the lower flat'wallQ by aside wall10, the point of connectionvbetween the arched upper wall 58 and ytheUfside-wall 10 being provided with `an annular angell for Yseating `upon the upper yedge of the boiler l6, the connecting 4vside Vwall 110 of the cover being entirely ldisposed within .the boiler.

A plurality of longitudinally Vextending ribs 12 depend from the cover wall 8 in directions toward the bottom wall 9, the ribs 12 being substantially V-shaped in cross section with the lower edges thereof curved upwardly at the ends and terminating at points spaced from the side walls 10 while the upper longitudinal rib portions 13, separating ribs are provided with a series of perforations 14, the central rib as illustrated jacent the slot in the plate 17 for reception therein. A tensioned latch 19 is carried by the opposite end of the cover wall 8 and is provided with an aperture therein adapted to receive the pin 20 projecting from the adjacent end of the boiler 6 for retaining the cover in position on the boiler. Fromthe above detail description of the device, it is believed that the construction and operation will at once be apparent, it being noted that the cover is mounted upon the boiler by first` passing the pin 18 into the slot of the fasten'- ing plate 17 after which the latch19 is automatically received on the pin 20. When the fluid contents of the boiler rises the same is permitted to pass through the perforated bottom 9 Yof the cover into the spacebetween the walls ofthe cover and by further upvap While there is herein shown and described ward movement contact the heat radiating ribs l2 and be'condensed thereby and returned to the perforated bottom 9 of the cover for percolation to the boiler 6. The perforations 14 in the connecting portions between the V-shaped ribs permit an escape of steam` so =that the boiler willy not V'be' airtight. With this form of cover, the contents `0f the boiler may boil indefinitely without danger of escaping from the upper end of the boiler as the ribs 12 will condense the boiling fluid and also retard the escape of ors.y

the preferred embodiment of the invention, it is to be understood that minor changes Vmay be made therein that will fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.

-What' is claimed as new is l. A device of the class described compris- `ing a boiler, a cover therefor, said cover iiicluding upper and lower spaced walls, the lower wall being perforated over its entire surface, and a plurality of depending ribs carried by the upper wall, said upper Wall having a series of perforations therein.

` 2. A device of the class described comprising a boiler, a Cover therefor, said cover including upper and lower spaced walls, and a plurality of ribs extending longitudinally of the upper cover wall, both of said walls being perforated. Y r

8. A device of the class described comprising a boiler, a cover therefor, said cover including upper and lower spaced walls, a plurality of ribs extending longitudinally of the upper cover wall, both of said walls being perforated, and ineans for holding the cover on the boiler.

4:. A device of the class described comprising a boiler, a cover therefor, said cover in cluding spaced upper and lower walls, and V-shaped ribs depending from the Vupper wall toward .the lower wall and confined within the space between the two walls, botli of said walls having perforations therein.

. In testimony whereof I my signature.
